The inner me is saying "OMG can't wait to buy this"

The practical me is saying "but my 10 year extended warranty"

I know they can't cancel your whole warranty based on a tune but engine/ tranny trouble are my only real worry.

Ahhhh I gotcha , sounds like there where good gains from those parts. Whelp time to start shopping for a DP & IC. It’ll be cool once we kinda see the fuel capabilities of these cars. I’d imagine once hondata does the full release they will start talking about some of these things.
Fuel system, about that :(

Every time I have this exact same thought, I come to the conclusion that if I'm going to modify something that will remove the warranty on that thing, I better have the cash in the bank to cover that thing in case it blows up. If you can afford an engine/transmission/other bits, then it's worth it. Otherwise, enjoy what you have now, or wait until you have the funds for something that likely (hopefully) would never happen.

I don't have a very positive view on dealerships and warranties but I bet if they really wanted to decline your warranty for a good portion of the car, and they found out you had this, they'd probably do it.

On the other hand if the original tune has some weird stuff like running lean for emissions as some manufacturers do in other cars, maybe it'd be better to get a safer, better put together tune.

I can do that for real? I wouldn’t mind doing that I regretted buying it.

I was fortunate enough to be selected for a Hondata Flash Pro beta test. I was encouraged by the Hondata engineers to give my completely unbiased and true impression of the tune.
Are you allowed to talk about any of the amazing features that all the R&D has made possible yet? We are pretty close to release at this point.
